Can Tesla Keep Rivian Out

[Ozmt]

I assume you meant Tesla, not Rivian. And it is only for 3,500 Supercharging stations.



The money they took is only linked to opening 3,500 Superchargers, not the entire network. Those will likely all be MagicDock. (The roll-out is probably paused because people figured out how to easily disconnect the adapter from the NACS cable, and Tesla needs to come up with a new locking mechanism.)

The main question was "can tesla keep rivian from using their chargers". The answer is yes if he wants to pay back all the govt funds he accepted not to mention fines that would be added. I don't plan on using any tesla charger because my opinion of musk and his company will keep me from giving him any of my hard earned funds. Not that my purchases would effect tesla at all anyway.

They can keep Rivian out of all of them other than the 3,500 that they received funding to open to all CCS vehicles. (Assuming that they really are receiving funding. I've seen it reported in one article, but most don't say that they did, and even that one said no contract had been signed.)

Nobody really cares much about the specific port. We want access to the superior Supercharger network that has proven reliability, speed, customer serivce and a 99.5% uptime. Additionally, your statement about NACS as a failure is laughable considering the latest developments. Finally, Tesla has tried to share with everyone for 10 years and nobody wanted to play...so they did it themselves. How are they now the "bad guy" after going it alone and finding success...and not just freely giving it all way now. BTW, they already got the govt money they wanted by agreeing to open 7500 SC locations up by 2024 (they just weren't real specific about which locations or when exactly they'd open). To your first point, so far there are about 10 locations with Magic Docks, mostly in NY (I've charged my R1T at one).

I never claimed that NACS was a failure. Go back and read what I actually said.

This is a Tesla so contracts don't matter.
